Abstract:

Balanites roxburghii Planch commonly called as hingota belonging to Zygophyllaceae family found in arid regions of India. This herb has been used traditionally for vomiting, vermifuge, antimycotic, laxatives, expectorant, treating pertussis and dog bites. Balanites roxburghii Planch stem is crucial due to its great phytochemical profile, which need careful Pharmacognostical standardization. Numerous pharmacological studies anti-inflammatories, anti-bacterial, antidiabetic, nutritional, anticonvulsant, antifertility, hepatoprotective properties, and antioxidant qualities, are well-known for Balanites roxburghii. Pharmacognostical standardization of the stem of Balanites roxburghii is the aim of this investigation. The plant's physiochemical analyses, ash value, moisture content, and pH, were in line with pharmacopoeial standards & reports. Proteins, alkaloids, amino acids, saponins, flavonoids, & other phenolic compounds were found in the plant extracts after phytochemical screening; glycosides, sterols, carbohydrates & volatile oils were not found. EEBR had a total flavonoids (195.09±1.132) and a low content of total phenolics (45.13±1.104).
